FAQS about Lithuania New Energy Storage

What is a new energy storage project in Lithuania?

The plan involves direct grants to support investments in the deployment of at least 1,200 MWh of new energy storage systems across Lithuania. The tender will be administered by the Environmental Project Management Agency (EPMA). The deadline for applications is June 17, 2025.

How many battery energy storage systems are there in Lithuania?

The four battery energy storage systems (BESS), 50MW/50MWh each, have been handed over by Fluence and are now providing services to Litgrid, the transmission system operator (TSO) in Lithuania. They followed a smaller, 1MW/1MWh pilot project to test the use case back in 2021.

Will Lithuania install 800 MWh of energy storage facilities?

In the procurement exercise, Lithuania is seeking to install at least 800 MWh of energy storage facilities, which will be directly connected to the transmission network by the end of 2028.

Why is Lithuania launching a major energy storage procurement exercise?

Only a day before cutting ties with the Russian power grid, the Baltic state announced the launch of a major energy storage procurement exercise. Lithuania has announced a EUR 102 million ($ 105 million) energy storage tender in a bid to procure balancing services to the transmission system operator and ensure the resilience of its grid.

Does Lithuania need a new energy system?

Lithuania imports a large share of its electricity needs, while bioenergy is taking the lead in domestic energy supply. By 2030, Lithuania wants to reduce its electricity imports by half and produce 70% of its electricity needs from domestic sources. It plans to complete its synchronisation with the continental European power system by early 2025.

Which power plant provides energy storage in Lithuania?

Kruonis Pumped Storage Plant provides energy storage, averaging electrical demand throughout the day. The pumped storage plant has a capacity of 900 MW (4 units, 225 MW each). Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant has 100 MW of capacity and supplies about 3% of the electrical demand in Lithuania.
